Nowadays, when skin care is a normal part of our daily routine, natural and homemade solutions are becoming more and more popular. Therefore, in this article, we will focus on an easy way to make an oil facial serum with Q10 right in the comfort of your own home. Discover with us the steps on how to prepare your own oil face serum with coenzyme Q10 and treat your skin to the care it deserves!
One of the sought-after and effective ingredients for the skin is coenzyme Q10. This powerful antioxidant not only protects the skin from harmful free radicals, but also stimulates cell regeneration and increases hydration. That is why we have chosen it as the main active ingredient in the skin serum. Coenzyme Q10 is further supplemented with CO2 pomegranate extract, which helps regenerate the skin even more intensively.
1. Prepare all your tools, containers and packaging, make sure they are clean and disinfected.2. Mix together the ingredients of phase A (oils and Q10). If the Q10 does not dissolve, gently heat the mixture to a maximum of 49°C, stirring constantly, the Q10 will dissolve.3. Allow the mixture to cool and then add the remaining raw materials. 4. Stir well and fill the serum into a glass bottle, ideally coloured glass.
If you haven't worked with some of the ingredients used to make the oil facial serum before or just want to learn more about them, you've come to the right place. Below we will introduce you to the different raw materials used in the production of the oil serum with Q10.
Safflower oil, also called safflower or thistle oil, is rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid. These components are essential for skin health and have anti-inflammatory properties. In the cosmetic industry, safflower oil is often used in products designed for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its ability to reduce inflammation and maintain skin balance also makes it popular among people suffering from eczema or psoriasis.
Other liquid vegetable oils are an alternative.
Sesame oil is known for itshigh concentration of antioxidants and vitamins, making it ideal for skin care. Its light texture allows for quick absorption, thus helping to moisturize the skin without a greasy feeling. However, if you have another favourite vegetable oil, feel free to use it instead of sesame oil or feel free to combine the oils.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is involved in the energy production of cells and protects them from oxidative stress. In beauty products, it plays an important role in fighting skin aging by increasing collagen and elastin production. It also helps to reduce the signs of photoageing and improves the overall texture of the skin.
If you omit coenzyme Q10 from your serum, you will miss out on many of the aforementioned benefits it provides to the skin.
Pomegranate extract is rich in powerful antioxidants such as flavonoids and ellagic acid, which protect the skin from harmful free radicals. This extract is prized for its anti-aging abilities, improving skin texture and toning the skin. Its regular use can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Alternatively, otherCO2 extracts or actives are suitable for application to the face and are also soluble in oils, but expect different effects on the skin.
Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is one of the most important antioxidants for the skin. Its main role is to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and sunlight. In addition to its protective role, vitamin E also helps maintain the skin's elasticity and hydration, preventing premature aging and improving its overall appearance.
An alternative is another version of vitamin E - tocopheryl acetate.
In addition, vitamin E slows down the oxidation of oils, so your serum will stay fresh longer. However, it is not a preservative. Oil serum does not contain water and therefore the use of a preservative is not necessary, however, when handling the serum, be careful of water getting into the product, then microbial spoilage could occur.
Summer Night is a fragrance oil with a mild, relaxing aroma that has a positive effect on psychological well-being. Its pleasant scent is often used in aromatherapy to relieve stress and anxiety. In beauty products, fragrance oils add a pleasant sensory experience and help to relax the mind after a busy day.You can substitute Summer Night fragrance oil with another fragrance oil of your choice.
Before using any raw materials to make a cosmetic product, be thoroughly familiar with their properties, recommended dosage, storage conditions andsafe handling. Any raw material may cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, so we recommend that you check before using the product that you are not allergic to any ingredient in the raw materials or the overall product, for example by a skin test.
In case of very sensitive or acne-prone skin, or if you have other skin and health problems, we recommend that you consult a medical professional before applying a new product to your skin, whether it is a homemade cosmetic product, a pure raw material or a commercially available product.
As mentioned, when experimenting with homemade recipes, it is important to remember that many factors such as humidity, temperature, quality of ingredients and storage can affect the final result.
